The Wild Tiger Health Project is a one-stop hub for veterinary
information relevant to the conservation of wild tigers

The aim of the website is to provide a one stop hub for veterinary information relevant to the conservation of wild tigers – disseminating information and delivering on-line training. By also providing a contact list of specialists in the field willing to help others, it is our intention that connectivity between wildlife professionals can be encouraged.

There is an ever-present risk that veterinary elements are omitted or forgotten when the numerous activities essential for the conservation of wild tigers are undertaken.  However, all such activities can be strengthened by veterinary involvement, and a sound knowledge and application of appropriate veterinary science should underpin every one. It is self evident that veterinary skills are necessary to anaesthetise wild tigers for radiocollaring, rehabilitate injured individuals or investigate mortality events, but they are equally necessary to monitor and advise on changing disease risks in apparently healthy populations and to develop disease risk mitigation strategies in translocation or reintroduction efforts. 

The website is an open access resource for wildlife veterinarians and biologists alike.

We hope you share our passion for supporting those who working to protect wild tigers.
